Yesterday I purchased a new swimsuit as we are going on vacation next week and I wanted to add to my swimsuit capsule. For context, I choose to buy my swim suits in a specialty store because I'm chesty and I cannot stand having my chest flopping all over the place in a bathing suit with no support. It's just too uncomfortable. So I knew, going in, that this was going to be a spendy purchase because I have to pay for the support I need.

I ultimately found a great suit that gives good coverage of my apple tendencies that also locks and loads the girls (my husband will probably say too much coverage, but oh well). It's a great colour and I know I will feel as confident as one can feel in a bathing suit in a public place! The brand is Miraclesuit, so it kind of infers confidence right off the bat!

What's making me grumpy is that the price I paid for the swimsuit, which I can afford despite its expense, is more than I paid for my Danier leather jacket back in the Spring. More than what I would consider paying for a pair of tall boots for the fall - as in, I would wait until the boots were on sale because I would have angst about paying full price for them. Yet I paid full price, no questions asked, for a great swimsuit.

I don't think this is a CPW issue because I generally don't worry about that with swimsuits (I am Canadian after all and our swimsuit season is short!) I feel this is more of a self-worth issue, but I can't see what it is. If you've made it this far (thank you) - I would appreciate any insights you might have that might make me a little less grumpy. Thanks!
